Fishing Buddy

Features:
- 'Fish Watcher' lets you see the fish you've caught here before (or
the fish that you've caught in the current session)
- Display your current skill level and the time since you started fishing
- Choose your fishing outfit and change into it easily
- Support for automatically adding a lure to your fishing pole
- Full Titan Panel support
- myAddOns support
- Preliminary support for tracking 'cycle fish' such as the Nightfin
Snapper so you know when to go looking for them

There are two actual add-ons -- the second one, OutfitDisplayFrame,
handles the pretty pane to set up your fishing outfit (it's next on
the list to be made into something more general that anyone can use).
The OutfitDisplayFrame addon can be safely left out if you have a
preferred equipment manager.

alt-clicking on an item in your outfit display will clear it

Silly stuff:
In addition to displaying the fishing bonus for your fishing outfit,
it also displays your 'style points' as inferred from Draznar's Fishing FAQ
Updated from duplicate postin: HERE.
Check there for updates if this falls behind.

1. Unzip the 'FishingBuddyVERSION.zip' file
2. If your unzip program allows you to specify a location, then
unzip it into the "Interface/AddOns" folder contained in your
WoW folder (the location that WoW was installed)
3. If your unzip program doesn't let you specify the destination,
then find your WoW folder (where it was installed) and drag
the 'FishingBuddy' and 'OutfitDisplayFrame' folder into the
'Interface/AddOns' folder.

Whoops - as I nosed around a bit, I realized my version of FB was actually quite old ... updating it to the latest has returned the 'skill up line'. (It was there just a week or so ago - one of Blizz's many recent hotfixes must have dithered with something).

Originally posted by Mook Aww, just noticed this same thing today ... I know FB does like a million other things, but this was really my favorite part of it. Is there any way to quick-fix something in the Lua maybe? Or am I missing an option right in front of my face?

Thanks,

Originally posted by Ambrya Was I imagining things, or did FB used to have a line in the tracking window that would tell you approximately how many catches it would take till your next skillup and how many you had caught so far since your last skillup (eg: 5/12 would mean 5 catches since last skillup, a total of ~12 needed till next skillup.)

Is that feature still a part of FB? Because I can't find how to turn it on if it is, and I thought it was a nice touch.

Since fish can no longer get away, would it be possible to make it AutoLure after fishing up a trash item? and also not log the trash items in the list.

Originally posted by oddtoddy Are there two different versions of this addon by the same author? I know that I've seen Fishing Buddy "EBA" and just "Fishing Buddy". I just thought they were named differently because they were on different addon websites. Anyone else run into this?

I've been using this mod for years. A few days ago, I downloaded an update to it, I think it was either the one on curse or the one on wowui, and when I got into the game it showed a "Totals" line for the current area I was fishing in along with the rest of the normal stuff it shows in the fishing window. Last night I downloaded the newest update to it, and the Totals line was gone.

Maybe I'm just missing something, but the addon disables the "click to move", which is good cause I hate when I miss the bob and run in to the water...but it doesn't seem to turn it back on after. Is there an option somewhere I'm not seeing?
